25 most iconic watches ever
We love our watches at Stuff. There's a wealth of horological variety out there, but only a handful of true classics. And, in no particular order, here they are...
Rolex Submariner 1953
Probably the most recognisable watch in the world. Originally built for professional divers, the Sub's place in history was sealed by Sean Connery wearing one in the early Bond films. The design has recently been updated with a ceramic bezel insert and chunkier strap lugs. Which is nice.

No omega seamaster? I agree lots of these watches are fantastic and superbly designed but I'm not sure they are all iconic. The classic seamaster has been in countless bond films and is up there with the rolex sub. Take the tissot out and put the seamaster in please

The Seamaster was in the Bond films purely as product placement. Not on merit.

Great to see the Breitling Navitimer here, I've had one since 1967. It's a shame that you showed the modern version rather than the actual vintage model which is far nicer looking.

Would have to have somewhere in my 25 the classic looking Oris Big Crown!

The list is fine, and ticks all the "right on" boxes - but no Chopard? The Mille Miglia is about as cool a chronograph as you can lay your hands on, with plenty of racing history to throw all your Tag's into a cocked hat. And whilst we're on the subject of IWC being the best pilot's watch, where's Breguet in your list? They may be relatively new, but by golly they are pretty...

I'm sorry but a lot of them are downright ugly! Even if I could afford them- which I can't- no way would I want them. Where are the subtle watches? Most of these you would need muscles like a navvy just to lift your arm.
